Sorry for the way off topic post, but interesting article linked below. With a U.S. hand on the oil spiggot in Iraq, I'm sure oil prices will tumble and we'll have cheaper gas this summer.
It's no secret that there is a very big anti-U.S. sentiment among Saudis. The Saudi rulers (and OPEC in general) play a very nimble game of sweet talking their biggest customer (us), while saying nasty things about us to their own population. Wonder how much that will change since we are now holding some of the purse strings.
I don't think the UN, the French, the Germans or the Russians will be too thrilled either. But they deserve it.
This is likely to get very heated.
